What have you learned this month?
- I have learned that having social graces or etiquette cannot be bought. No matter how rich a person is, you cannot expect that person to treat you right. There are just people out there who don't have the ability to be kind, thoughtful to others. Not all people are alike. I'm thankful that somehow I'm not like those people (I hope!).

- I just realized how the impact of family is to the kids. I saw how happy they are when we are together, doing something, doing nothing, watching, playing and more. It reminds me to spend more time with them and treasure those moments as long as I can, because these are the moments that can no longer repeat.
